Detailed Description

This macro shows how to create and use linear gradients to fill a histogram or a pad.

Requires OS X and ROOT configured with –enable-cocoa.

//Includes for ACLiC (cling does not need them).

#include "TCanvas.h"
#include "TColor.h"

{
//Make sure we enabled OpenGL support in a canvas.
// Test if canvas supports OpenGL:
TCanvas *cnv = new TCanvas("grad", "gradient demo 1", 100, 100, 600, 600);
if (!cnv->UseGL() && !cnv->IsWeb())
::Warning("grad", "This macro requires either OpenGL or Web canvas to correctly handle gradient colors");
// Create custom linear gradients.
// Linear gradient is defined by:
// 1) Direction in which gradient is changing (defined as angle in grad)
// 2) colors (to interpolate between them), at least two of them
// 3) alpha parameter for the colors (if not specified - used from TColor directly)
// 4) coordinates for these colors along the gradient axis [0., 1.] (must be sorted!).
auto fcol1 = TColor::GetColor((Float_t) 0.25, 0.25, 0.25, 0.55); // special frame color 1
auto fcol2 = TColor::GetColor((Float_t) 1., 1., 1., 0.05); // special frame color 2
auto frameGradient = TColor::GetLinearGradient(0., {fcol1, fcol2, fcol2, fcol1}, {0., 0.2, 0.8, 1.});
// This gradient is a mixture of two standard colors.
auto padGradient = TColor::GetLinearGradient(0., {30, 38});
// Another gradient built from three standard colors.
auto histGradient = TColor::GetLinearGradient(45., {kYellow, kOrange, kRed});
// Example of radial gradient, for stats box works properly only in web canvas
// Here first argument is radius [0..1] and then list of colors
auto statGradient = TColor::GetRadialGradient(0.5, {kBlue, kGreen});
gStyle->SetStatColor(statGradient);
cnv->SetFillColor(padGradient);
cnv->SetFrameFillColor(frameGradient);

hist->SetFillColor(histGradient);
hist->FillRandom("gaus", 10000);
hist->Draw();
